Abstract


The present study was conducted in Nanded district with a view to study the personal, socioeconomic and psychological characteristics and to know the mode of organization of training programme as preferred by the sweet orange growers. A majority of sweet orange growers were educated upto primary education, had medium (4.01 to 10.00 ha) land holding, medium annual income and also had medium risk preference, market orientation and economic motivation. Most of the respondents had medium 16 to 37 years of experience of farming, with medium social participation, and had medium use of sources of information and extension contact. Most of the sweet orange growers preferred training of one week period at their own villages particularly in summer season. So organizers of training pogrammes may give emphasis on these preferences while conducting training programmes.
